Autile Import Support for Tiled Importer

[ahmutkadim]

I believe the title is self explanatory, I do not know whether we can write feature requests but adding this would really help. It would be beneficial to be able to import autotiling rules from tiled map editor to haxeflixel so that tiles can be updated in runtime if they must. This would help to better integrate tiled and haxeflixel.

Does Tiled export it's autotiling rules into levels? I was under the impression it applied the rules before the level was exported. HaxeFlixel generally recommends using LDtk as it has more feature and is more maintained. According to SeiferTim it even supports this very feature

Edit: I'm not seeing anything about it in Tiled's Json Map format

I believe you can choose to embed tileset file to the tmx or json file while creating it.

[Geokureli]

can you verify this? if you do create a json with this info could you share it here?

Terrain.json

what fields should I be looking for?

[ahmutkadim]

I suspect "tilesets" field and dicts inside it

I see wangsets in there, but truthfully haxeflixel doesn't yet support full wangtiles, there were talks about allowing custom autotile methods in FlxTilemap without needing to override FlxTilemap's autoTile methods. that could be a great first step towards wang tiles, and generating autotiling methods from tiled data

If you would like to work on this that'd be great, otherwise I don't think I'll personally have time for this in the near future
